Good Morning Chinatown!

This is what the ID looks like when it hasn't woken up yet on a Fall Saturday or Sunday morning. That is, when the Chinatowners aren't lighting off firecrackers and clang-clang-clanging around celebrating something.

Okay, so to clarify, this is a rare, Fall, Saturday morning; just after 8:00 a.m.

It is gray, a wee-bit chilly, and the air smells clean and slightly damp.

It is very quiet!!
The mail trucks are sitting quietly.
They are waiting to go out and deliver bills, catalogues, and sometimes letters to peoples. (Hint. Hint-Ha. Ha.)
The crack dealers are sitting quietly....

And even the "po-po" are sitting quietly, maybe munching on dumplings.
It is a lovely time.

Then, around 11:00 a.m. or so, there began to be people in the streets...

......in both directions.

The mail truck was back to fighting with the garbage truck.....

....And the shop keepers were having "Grand Openings".

And once again, all was well and busy in the world of the ID.
